    The jet stream significantly influences weather patterns in several ways:

    1. Storm Tracks: The position and strength of the jet stream can determine where storms develop and track. A strong jet stream can steer storm systems across regions, impacting rainfall and snowfall.

    2. Temperature Changes: When the jet stream dips south (a trough), it can bring colder air from the north, leading to temperature drops. Conversely, when it moves north (a ridge), warmer air can flow in, raising temperatures.

    3. Weather Fronts: The jet stream often delineates borders between warm and cold air masses. This creates weather fronts, leading to precipitation and changes in weather conditions.

    4. Extreme Weather: Variations in the jet stream’s path can contribute to extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, heavy rainfall, or prolonged cold spells.

    Overall, the jet stream plays a crucial role in shaping the weather by influencing air movements and interactions.
